About

“The Bafflement Fires” is a digital recreation of a Freemason board game from the 1950s. Based on found documents, the game, built by a psychologist and Mason, was an attempt to alter player’s perception through quiz and play. While it appears some of the game was lost/destroyed, enough was there for me to create a largely accurate videogame version. Exploring methods for transforming quizes, tests and other forms we continually encounter, this work builds a world through bizarre, seemingly surreal questions and answers through the lens of found ficto-history.
